T’s Shrimp Kisses

15 – 20 slices Hickory Smoked Bacon, NOT thick sliced!

15-20 medium-large shrimp

4 ounces Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese, cut into about ½” x ¾” rectangles

EVOO

Pepper

 

Partially cook the bacon in the oven on a baking sheet. **Do not cook until crispy, you will want to be able to wrap the bacon around the shrimp. Peel the shrimp leaving just a tiny bit of the tail. In a bowl drizzle a little EVOO and pepper over the shrimp. Make a slice in the shrimp's “belly”, BUT do not cut the shrimp all the way through! Put a wedge of cheese in each shrimp and then wrap the shrimp with a slice of bacon. Use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place and then place shrimp the shrimp kisses on a non-stick foil-lined baking sheet. On a lower rack in your oven broil the shrimp until bacon is VERY crispy.
